A sacred pilgrimage destination that has been the spiritual home for millions of devotees for centuries.
Shri Khatu Shyam Mandir, located in the heart of Khatu village in Sikar district of Rajasthan, is one of the most revered Hindu temples in India. The temple is dedicated to Khatu Shyam Ji (Barbarik), the grandson of Bhima and son of Ghatotkacha from the epic Mahabharata.
According to the sacred legend, Lord Krishna blessed Barbarik with the boon that in Kali Yuga, he would be worshipped by the name "Shyam" and would be the savior of the downtrodden. The temple stands as a testament to this divine promise, drawing devotees who believe in the power of "Hare Ka Sahara, Khatu Shyam Hamara."
The Shri Khatu Shyam Ji Temple Trust is responsible for the maintenance, development, and administration of the temple and its surrounding sacred sites including Shyam Kund, Shyam Bagichi, and the Gaurishankar Temple.
